Is this kettle induction safe? Does the handle get hot?

Do not know about induction safe, but handle does not get hot. Try the manufacturer website to see if they say it is induction safe. They usually tell you if it is.

I can not speak for the induction safe because I use my on an electric stove. But the handle does not get hot at all with mine.

The handle did not get hot. I have a glass top stove. I do keep the handle outside the heating circle. Hope this helps.

Yes, the handle does get hot....I got one of the potholder things that are made especially to slide onto pot handles. Love, love, love the pan!

Not at all. I use my kettle on a cast iron wood cook stove (I use the stove to heat my kitchen during the winter so the kettle is on all day) that's very hot and the handle does not heat up at all . If you keep the handle upright while it's boiling it's comfortable to grab at any time.

That is what I have been doing for two years and have had no problems. Remember it is very small and makes just over a cup of tea. Handle will get hot so need to use glove or pot holder.

We heat on gas stove with a small inner flame that just fits the bottom. So the handle does not get hot. On an electric element I would think you would place on edge of element so again no the handle should not get hot.

It is smooth, but other answer is incorrect: it is NOT induction compatible. (Perhaps there are different versions of this kettle being sold under the same model name/number.

High heat on any pan other than cast iron is not the best for them and your food.I have not had this problem with the handle getting to hot to handle.

No, the handle is never hot. There are two steam escape holes on the lid. These should be positioned to allow the steam to escape to the side. The handle is also made from a plastic that does not appear to conduct heat.

I have not had a problem with the handle heating on the stove top.Make sure the flame is not up so high that it is under the handle.

Yes, no problem at all. The kettle is just excellent in general. I highly recommend it!

Somewhat safe - I still think it might be hot on your hand, but maybe less so than on a gas stove. I think the heat travels up the handle from the kettle's pot itself. The handle appears to be a combo of plastic and rubber - and tends to get hot enough all over that I usually use a hotpad or my sleeve to pour when the kettle boils.

Nope. My kettle works wonderfully on my gas stove at highest heat. No melting, no discoloring, nothing. It's great!

I gave mine away as a gift to a gal I was dating at the time. I have another model at my home made by farberware which also has an aluminum handle, but it is never too hot to the touch even with boiling water. The side handles do heat up on the farberware model and you have to use pot holders when straining.

Works perfectly fine for me on an electric induction stove top. As another poster suggested, don't heat much higher than 6 out of 10 or you risk burning through the copper bottom if you aren't typically attentive to your boiling water. I made that mistake with this same kettle before. Lesson learned.

I don't know what you mean by induction. However, I had to throw away this tea kettle after no more than two weeks: It never whistled and it was extremely flimsy, with parts loosening within a week. I later bought the more expensive Mr. Coffee and it's fine.

Yes, it does get too hot on the handle. Mine didn't last very long. Too bad because if it didn't get too hot it would be a great one!
